Joint mobilization is a technique used by physical therapists to help increase the range of motion in a particular joint, be that in the spine, shoulder, hip, knee, or ankle. At Carteret & Edison Comprehensive Medical Care we specialize in helping patients return to normal function while decreasing pain. It is a common complaint for patients to experience a lack of proper motion in their neck or back thus requiring joint mobilization. This technique is normally used to increase joint range of motion (ROM) but is also used to decrease pain and muscle tone. Here physical therapists or other clinicians concentrate on a specific joint which is either painful or presents with decreased ROM.

If you’re in pain and/or have trouble moving certain joints in your neck or back call us now @ 732 541-2233. Most insurance plans are accepted and no outside referral is needed from your doctor or insurance carrier.
